Course Description

Steel is the most used construction material in the USA for industrial buildings, high-rise towers, bridges and other structures. It competes with reinforced concrete in the world because of its many favourable characteristics including high strength, high stiffness, ductility and toughness, speed of erection, competitive cost, etc. Its use in the Middle East region has been mostly confined to industrial plants, offshore structures and warehouses. The lower construction time and it can be used as a temporary structure make it competitive than the concrete structure.

Design of steel structures has widely been based on the Allowable Stress Design based on the AISC. Many designers and fabricators still use old allowable stress techniques.

The petroleum industry is interesting in modify the structure in case of offshore structures topsides or in the onshore facilities to carry more load or add more machine so the management of change must be considered and important.

Course Objective

This course is intended to overview modern procedures for the design and erection of structural steel buildings, especially for the oil and gas industry.

This course will increase the knowledge and assist in using new tools for designing and construction the steel structure for the new project or modify the existing one.

The interaction between concrete and steel will be defined. The anchor bolts, machine skid design, construction and installation will be discussed theoretically and practically.

For those engineers with limited practical experience, the course will illustration of real design and construction issues that may assist the designer to conceive of a structural steel system that is safe, economical and constructible.

The rule of thumb to check the steel structure or to modify the deck in case of offshore and onshore structures.

The course will be started from the basics to ensure the full participation of all attendees.
